Abstract:

This is practical study which was done during September -2015 to July 2016 and was carried out in Sudan-Khartoum state scanned in many hospitals include, ( Aldayat, Alsaudi hospitals ).The objective of this study was to assess the role of ultrasonography in diagnosis causes of uterine bleeding in non pregnant patient .transabdominal ultrasound scan using ‘Honda’ Aloka and General Electric scanners with 3,5MHz probe was done for 60 patient of non pregnant women with abnormal uterine bleeding from different area, their ages between (20 -78) year, which data on configuration of easy question and ultrasound finding ,were collected .we found that, abnormal uterine bleeding, was most common in ages between (35 - 44 ) years. usually associated with varying symptoms, Menorrhagia was the most common symptom . and uterine fibroid was most common causes, (30)patient 50% followed by ovarian cyst (16)patient26.7% ,Endometrium hyperplasia(5) patient8.3% , uterine carcinoma ( 7)patient 11.7%.and lastly by poly cystic (2) patient 3.3%..Finally the researcher recommended the uses of ultrasound scanning as first line in diagnosing of abnormal uterine bleeding ,because it was fast exam ,non invasive ,low cost and is a good tool for diagnosis the causes of abnormal uterine bleeding, The menopausal women should be educated about post menopausal uterine bleeding for early complain to health centers for early diagnoses and treatment. Further studies should be carried out in this field on many aspects such as increasing the number of patients to show the relation between the uterine bleeding and other clinical symptoms, ultrasound finding ,and Doppler scan role in diagnosis causes of abnormal uterine bleeding.the government should update the ultrasound machines and increase the training institutes of ultrasound for increasing the sonologists skills and experiences.
